Cao Xiurong crossed her legs as her piercing gaze remained on him, stripping him of all his secrets in his head as she asked him in a straightforward manner. "Kong Zhu, your godfather wore a ring on his left hand. It should still be in his possession since I doubt the people who killed him stole that ring. Can you give it to me?",
Kong Zhu started visibly sweating when he heard her mention the kingmaker ring. "Y-You want m-me to give you the ring n-now?"
"Now." The tone of finality in her voice scared him the more, making him freeze. Cao Xiurong saw how agitated he was and she planned to make she put him in a more uncomfortable position in the future. This was not the first time family members killed their own for power, best friends stabbing others for jealousy so she was sure so she didn't dismiss her suspicions.
